Despite a result that saw Haas slip back in the constructors' standings, there was a positive to take from Alpine's podium heroics
Haas team boss Ayao Komatsu revealed he 'never expected' Alpine to secure its double podium in Brazil that vaulted it to sixth in the Formula 1 constructors' standings - but he pointed to the positive performance displayed by future driver Esteban Ocon. Alpine has struggled all year following a poor opening to the season with no points until round six in Miami, yet transformed its campaign with a stunning 2-3 at Interlagos last weekend.
